<p>The news comes just months ahead of Karate Kid: Legends' release, which will see <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/celebrity-life/fashion-and-beauty/photo/critics-choice-awards-2025-angelina-jolie-glamourous-return-jackie-chan-nicole-kidman-104047" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Jackie Chan</a></strong> and Ralph Macchio reprising their roles as Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso.</p>
<p>The first trailer for Karate Kid: Legends was released in October last year.</p>
<p>The upcoming film follows a new young martial artist, played by Ben Wang, as he is trained by Chan and Macchio's characters. The trailer features scenes from a martial arts academy, intense action moments in New York, and Chan's voice-over saying, "In life, you only have one question: Is it worth fighting for or not?"</p>
<p>The original Karate Kid (1984) revolved around the story of Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph George Macchio, a teenager who moves to Los Angeles and learns karate from Mr. Miyagi to stand up against bullies. The 2010 remake starred Jaden Smith as Dre Parker, who moves to China and is trained by Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan.</p>
